Verdict

The call

Candy Crush Saga and Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend's written reviews are positive against 39% of Candy Crush Saga's. Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Candy Crush Saga's advantage is ratings volume (4M vs 237K) and chart position (#3 vs #20). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
